The XTR-96 /384 range of whole rack 2D code readers is made upof three standard models (the XTR-96, XTR-96 FLEX and XTR-96 LF)alongside two readers which were designed to meet highthroughput needs (the XTR-96 PRO and XTR-384 PRO).

The XTR-96, XTR-96 FLEX and XTR-96 LF readers use CCD imagingand sophisticated decoding methods to provide robust sampleidentification in just 10 seconds (total scan and decode time).

A choice of additional options are available with these models(see table below). These include an integrated linear barcodereader and cryo version which features and integrated frost reduction system that enables multiple racks to be read straightfrom freezer without the reliability issues that can arise due to thepresence of frost or condensation.

The XTR-96PRO and XTR-384 PRO are high speed whole rack readers that can be easily integrated into automated systems,with a total scan and decode time of just 2 seconds for a rack of96 or 384 tubes.

Readers tested with tubes stored at -80oC

CRYO MODELS more about the integrated frost reduction system

The storage of biological samples such as DNA, protein, blood frac-tions and viable cells is becoming commonplace and the need tostore them at lower temperatures (e.g. -20ºC, -80ºC and Gas PhaseLiquid Nitrogen) has resulted in reading challenges for traditionalrack readers.

FluidX have developed rack readers capable of reading multiplerackswithout the build-up of frost or condensation on the undersideof the glass which causes the code to become unreadable.

Standard FluidX racks readers will operate in a cold environment aslow as -20ºC and decoding the occasional rack of cryo tubesshould not be considered an issue due to the quick read time.However, when scanning multiple racks the accumulated time thecold racks spend in contact with the reader glass causes a dropthe air temperature on the underside of the glass.

Condensation and frost can appear which results in poor readingcapability and possible damage to the scanning head.

FluidX 2D coded tubes adhere to ECC200 standards and our read-ers employ superior decoding algorithms, however unreliable read-ing can occur as the condensation builds up as the code isobscured and the contrast between the code and the back-ground is diminished.

The XTR-96 CRYO achieves 100% decoding after reading more than 40 racks from a -20ºC freezer.

Decoding frosted tubes

“The new Xtr-96 with anti misting scanning window has allowed usto batch scan multiple -80 frozen racks, unlike the previous modelwhich required scanning to be interrupted by application of aheat block to the scanning window every few racks. The ease andtrouble free use has resulted in stock control and quality controlbeing a stress free experience.”Kaetan Ladhani, CJD Resource Centre, NIBSC.

XTR-96 PRO / XTR-384 PRO high speed whole rack reader, ideal for robotic integration

WHOLE RACK 2D CODE READERS

High speed whole rack reader, ideal for robotic integration.Compatible with either 96 or 384-format racked 2D-coded tubes.

Fast4 seconds total scan and decode time. 8 CCD cameras enable anear instant read.

Easy to use with a wide variety of data capture options.Simple, intuitive Graphical User Interface, results can be vieweddirectly or integrated with other applications. ODBC connectivity fordatabase integration. Direct data output to Excel.

Easily integratedWinsock connectivity for instant robotic integration.

Automatic rack read and orientationSimply place the rack on the reader and the XTR-96 PRO / XTR-384PRO will read automatically using in-built sensors to determine rackplacement.

RobustSealed reading head is IP65 rated. Resistant to water, dust andgases.XTR-96PRO and XTR-384 PRO readers are suitable for use at lowtemperatures (-20oC).

Dependable decodingAll FluidX readers use the same industry leading decoding algorithm.

Simple to integrateODBC connectivity allows database integration.Winsock connectivity provides instant integration.Only one USB connection is required for both power and data.

No tube featureAble to discriminate between a tube with a barcode that cannotbe decoded and a rack position with no tube. The system will notattempt to decode empty tube positions and data files are kept“clean” as wasted data entry is avoided, leading to faster rackreading.

Optional integrated linear barcode reader.
